(More details! Douzo!)

A really OOC Yossie here... Hehehe. I know that the title is a user name from LJ, but it's somewhat catchy.. Hope you enjoy this one.XD



The sound of the raindrops falling on the roof was enough to hide the crashing sounds and muffled screams. A figure left the house and faced the raging storm outside. Inside, the house was a total mess. Shards of glass from the glass wares were lying on the floor; sauces, noodles and rice were scattered on the dining hall and a broken foot of a chair has destroyed a part of the tiled floor. On one corner of the room, a beaten woman was curled up in a fetal position. Bruises covered her whole body. Blood dripped from her nose and mouth. Her tears seemed to synchronize with the rain; falling from her eyes, mixed with her own blood. A woman tensed as she heard someone opened the door and went inside. She flinched as an immediate reaction when a hand tried to hold her shoulders. But it’s different. The hand that touched her contrasted the coldness that the storm brings. A loving touch who cold only come from the one person she could ever trust… she could ever loved truly.

“Ayaya?”

……………..
It started when she became the sub leader, and ‘her’, the leader. They always clicked with each other. The latter was the heart of the group, making them feel positive whenever the situation doesn’t seem good. Just a funny face or joke was enough to wipe away the sadness or tension from anyone of them. A jolly, good-natured person which contrasted her ‘scary’ personality. She was, on the other hand, the epitome of terror. Just a glare from her was enough to silence those persons with whom she gave those frightening stares. During live concerts, many of her peers tried to be far away from her as much as possible to escape her silly habit of groping their butts. Her heart-piercing, straight to the point comments will really get into the skin of those people that she ‘touched’ the lives. They will not forget that the name Miki Fujimoto rhymes with fear. She didn’t fear any body or anyone… until now. She and her leader became close. They enjoyed each other’s company until they realized that they’re heading for a new path. They were happy for a while, but not all love stories end up in happy endings..

“Why did she kiss you?”

“It’s in the script. And besides, it’s just Aya.”

“You liked it, do you?”

“What are you saying? She’s just my best friend and we’re only doing our job for the PV!” Miki tried to get out of the room. She was really pissed at the other girl’s narrow-mindedness right now. As she held the door knob, a tight grasp held her wrist.

“Don’t you dare walk out on me!”

“I’ll walk out if I feel li….” Her sentence was not completed when a hand landed on her face forcefully. It stings a lot and the part reddened quickly. Tears well up in her eyes not because of the pain but because it’s “her” who did this. The other realized what she did and hugged her.

“I’m sorry…. I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean to do it. I was just jealous of her. I’m sorry…”

It’s a vicious cycle; petty quarrels will end up in her being hurt. A couple of hugs and kisses and their back together. She’s getting tired of all of these that’s why she decided to break free. And a wrong idea indeed. It became worse, being hurt not only physically but also mentally.


“Yocchan, what are you doing?!?” Miki took the cutter away from Hitomi’s hand when she saw that blood was already dripping from the leader’s wrist. The other grabbed her hands firmly, tightly, as if the other wanted her bones to break under the pressure. Miki was pinned on the wall.

“You want to leave me right? So I’ll just take my life instead.”

“Please, don’t kill yourself… Are you insane?”

“You made me loose myself…”

If not for the scandal that it will bring to the company and to her group members, Miki decided to stay quiet about the hidden personality of this ‘calm’ and ‘cool’ person. In front of the camera and in their co-workers, they were a fun and loving tandem but in the privacy of their apartment, she feels like she’s already in hell. If they were only married, she will be the ‘battered wife’. She can imagine herself having black eyes, swollen face and wounds and cuts everywhere. She has those, but her partner’s good in hiding them to the naked eye. From all the punches, kicks, and slaps done to her, no one noticed the marks, except someone who’s very keen in observing when it comes to her.

“What happened to your arm? Why do you have a bruise?”

“I hit it accidentally when we were on the set last week. Pretty clumsy right?”

“Are you protecting something… or someone?”

“Ehh? What are talking about?”

“Never mind…”

This is the first time that she lied, badly, at her best friend because she didn’t want her to be involved, even her own family. She knew what the other is capable of doing. At their concert, the leader ‘purposely’ tripped the unsuspecting Gokkie which in turn made her greeting at the stage. It resulted in a broken leg and a startled crowd. She knew that the latter heard what they talked about before the start of the concert

“Miki!”

“What is it? Don’t disturb me or I’ll grope you on stage later!”

“Is there a problem with you and Yossie? I noticed that…”

“Look Risa, if you don’t have anything better to do, just talk to Kusumi or Sayu.”


At last, a light came when her world was already stumbling in the dark. She thought her misery will end when she heard that ‘she’s graduating. She acted like she’s somewhat lonely or sad from the sudden news. If she showed her happy face, it will only result in her being bashed again when she returned home. And at last, the day finally arrived. The leader looked great in her red ‘angel’ outfit. She smirked. In her mind, she replaced the image of the feathery wings with that of a devil. The occasion passed uneventfully as she’s so excited over her so-called semi-freedom.

But Miki’s prediction was wrong. The graduation only resulted in her being beaten everyday. The former leader would always accuse her of unfaithfulness every time she came home from work. Without her watchful eyes in the group now that she’s not a part of it, Hitomi’s jealousy tripled. Miki couldn’t take it any longer. She needs help, and fast.

Miki took the chance when Hitomi had a practice that day. She grabbed a bag, stuffed some clothes and left the apartment. She called the person yesterday; an undercover agent who she met three years ago. She stayed in his apartment for safety, but she knew it wouldn’t last long. She have to face the problem and she knew that she might not survive it this time when she gets back after three days of absence. But they have a plan, and she have to believe in it.


“Where did you go?”

“It’s my free day so I decided to have fun for three days. It’s kinda boring here when you’re alone.”

“And who did you go with?”

“No one. Just me. I just want some ‘alone’ time.” Hitomi stood up and pulled Miki’s hair. Miki yelped in pain.

“Liar… Tsunku said that in this week’s ‘Friday’ release, you’re the front page…. YOU”VE SLEPT IN A MAN’S APARTMENT!!!” Hitomi kicked Miki’s stomach so hard it made the other hit her back on the table, shattering some glassware and scattering the foods set on top of it. But the angered woman’s not finished yet, she pulled Miki’s shirt, punched her face and laid her on the ground.

“Are you not satisfied with me? You know how I really love you right?” Hitomi smirked before kissing Miki’s bloodied lips. Miki tried to push her away but the gravity’s not on her side. She spotted a vase nearby. She tried to reach for it as the other was busy kissing her down to her neck. She hit Hitomi’s head, full force as she grabbed the object. It shattered into pieces but it didn’t even hurt the other, though blood was already dripping from her injured head. It made Hitomi angrier.

“Now what did that man gave you for you to fight back like that?” Hitomi said in her coldest voice ever. She gave another punch and hit Miki’s left cheek.

“I’m tired of you hurting me!!! Why can’t you let me go…. I don’t want to stay with you anymore!!!….” Miki yelled as the thunder roared across the dark sky concurrently. She let her tears fall on her now swollen cheeks. She wanted this nightmare to end.

“You don’t want to stay with me?! You want to stay with that man?! I’m sorry… but you’re mine… ONLY MINE!” Miki can see Hitomi’s ice cold, blank stare; as if she’s been possessed by a devil. Hitomi hit her non-stop, using the things that she can grab. Miki knew she’ll be dead any minute now; her body had become numb from all the strikes the she took. Hitomi took a chair and aimed it at Miki’s head. Miki closed her eyes as she prepared herself for the worst… a foot of the chair was broken as it hit the tiled floor besides her head. Miki tried to open her eyes and saw that tears were falling from Hitomi’s blank stare. Hitomi shook her head and run out of the house.

…………….
“Ayaya?”

“She did this to you? I know something’s wrong…” Aya tried to help her friend to stand up. She’s bleeding really hard and she must be sent to the hospital as soon as possible.

“Aya, please… I don’t want to involve you… please go…” Miki tried to say in her weak voice.

“Damn it Miki! Stop being like that… I’m your best friend, remember that. I’m already involved in this from the start. Your pain is my pain too…”

“What an interesting scene… And I just went out for a couple of seconds.” Miki closed her eyes as soon as she heard her cold voice. Aya hugged her best friend tighter.

“What did you do with my best friend?! I thought you love her?! I thought you’ll take care of her?! I tho…..” Hitomi raised a gun in front of them. Aya was stunned.

“SHUT UP!!! Who are you to say those things to me?! I really love her… But she’s always flirting with others like you!! But now…” Hitomi readied the .44 calibre in her hand and aimed it at Aya. “I’ll kill you both… as a revenge for hurting me.”

Hitomi was about to pull the trigger when help arrived.
“FREEZE! FBI! Put down your gun!” The man who Miki asked for help arrived together with two more men. Hitomi aimed the gun at them and pulled the trigger. The bullet went straight into the agent’s left thigh. One of the police helped the fallen agent and the other shot Hitomi. She fell hard on the floor as blood started flowing out of the wound on her waist.

That week, the Friday Magazine released a different story other than the first one. And it’s not only on Friday that the news was released, but on all the different newspapers and T.V stations in Japan.

(More details! Douzo!)

For those who've already read chapter 56 of Broken Destiny... then you should know this one!!! Hehehe... I just changed the names and tried to fit this on the 'one-shot' category. Have fun reading!XD




Fairy/Millicent= Hitomi
Sapphire= Miki
Emerald/Erik= Aya
Ruby=Sayumi
King=Ai
Queen=Risa
Franz= Rika
Witch/Hecate= Eri
Narrator=Reina
Director/ Controls= Yuuko
Assistant= Kaori




Narrator: "Once upon a time, there was a very powerful kingdom ruled by a just king and queen. Their life would be very complete if they were blessed with a child. Day and night they would pray to the heavens to send them one. It took years before their wish was granted. They held a very huge banquet to celebrate the birthday of their lovely princess. They invited all the people of their kingdom to their large palace, even the fairies and elves who lived in the forest nearby. They invited everybody except the wicked and merciless witch of the lagoon."

Fairy: "Such a lovely child! I’m going to give you a special gift! I give you"

Hitomi waved her wand in the air but were stopped midway when the lights dimmed and out came Eri with a long trident in her hands.

Witch: "HAHAHAHAHA" What a wonderful celebration indeed. You invited everyone... everyone except me." Eri said in a high-pitched, sarcastic voice.

Queen: "Wha.. what do you want?" Risa held the doll/baby closer to her.

King: "I ask you to leave this place! You are not invited witch!" Ai removed her sword from its scabbard and pointed it towards Eri.

Witch: "Oh, I'm going to leave this place alright." Eri paused and gave off a mischievous smile. "But not until I give my gift to the princess." Eri widely waved her trident in the air. A sound of thunder can be clearly heard from the background.

Witch: "Princess Sapphire, I'm going to give you the gift... of Death!" Eri stopped waving her trident and pointed it towards the doll. Eri pressed a button and released a white light from the tip of her trident. "When the clock strikes midnight on your 18th birthday, you will touch a spinning wheel and get killed! AHAHAHAHA!!!"

………………..
Queen: "What should we do?! I don't want our daughter to die!" Risa kneeled and hugged the doll tightly. Ai caressed the doll’s face put her arms around her best friend.

Fairy: "Don't feel sad, your highnesses, I still haven’t given my gift yet." Hitomi waved her wand in the air and continued with her script. "By midnight of your 18th birthday, if you were struck by the spinning wheel, you will not die. Instead, you will just fall into a deep slumber and a prince will come to awake you with true love's kiss." Hitomi pressed a button and her wand emitted a yellow light. Ai faced the audience.

King: "From this day, I decree that all spinning wheels be destroyed and burned!" There were background voices saying “Hai” coming from the speaker. Ai then turned to Hitomi. "I know that witch will not stop and find a way to kill our daughter. It’s hard on our part but, please take good care of her. Take her to a far place, a place where Hecate will not find her, onegai!" Risa gave the doll to Hitomi.

Fairy: "You can count on me. I’ll take care of princess Sapphire like she was my own child." Hitomi walked out of the stage and the lights were turned off.

Narrator: "Almost 17 years had passed and Sapphire grew up kind and beautiful. The fairy disguised herself back as the beautiful merchant woman who lives in a secluded place inside the forest of the other kingdom. She migrated here many years ago. The mother of the king was her friend that's why she went back to Silverland when she heard that after many years, her friend's son would become a father. Before going back, she adopted two children; the older was an orphan that she saw on the streets while the other was a girl who was lost in the woods and doesn’t remember a single thing on her past. She treated them equally but the two doesn’t seem to treat Sapphire nicely."

Ruby: "SAPPHIRE!!!" Sayumi screamed in a high pitched voice. Miki entered, wearing a light blue dress.

Sapphire: "Hai! What do you want with me?" Miki asked as nicely as possible. Nakazawa nodded in agreement. It was quite a hard job to stop Miki’s glare but those private trainings were not wasted.

Ruby: "How dare you wear my dress?"

Sapphire: "But you said that you don't want it. It still can be used that's why I thought that it would be such a waste to throw it away."

Ruby: "It’s my dress and I’m the one who will decide what to do with it! Now, take it off!" Miki bowed down and went to the backstage to wear her next costume.

Emerald: "What are you so angry about this early in the morning?"

Ruby: "Well, that sister of ours is wearing my dress. She really annoys me!"

Emerald: "Is that so? By the way, mother will come back tonight right? We need to get this place cleaned. SAPPHIRE!!!" Aya screamed. Miki immediately went to the stage, wearing a plain, and worn out clothing.

Sapphire: "What is it sister?"

Emerald: "I want you to clean our house, from top to bottom! And after you're done, cook a lovely dinner for us. Mother will be coming home this evening."

Sapphire: "Hontou?! Then I'll prepare a nice supper for us!" Miki exclaimed happily. She went to the right side and got her broomstick and a pail full of water.

Ruby: "We'll just go to the town to buy gifts for mother. We'll be back for our afternoon nap."

Emerald: "And when we get back, be sure you have prepared a delicious lunch for us." Aya and Sayumi went to the backstage leaving Miki alone on the stage. Nakazawa pressed something on the controls and a happy beat can be heard from the speaker.
"Ehh? What was that sound? We didn’t’ t hear it on our rehearsal right?" Rika asked the similarly puzzled Eri.

"I don't have an idea. Maybe Kaori-san accidentally pressed something.”

"Maybe, this was a part of Nakazawa's plan." Aya blurted. They went near the curtain to take a peek at what was happening on the stage.
………………

Sapphire: "I'm all alone again." Miki put up a sad face and sighed. She looked at the audience and smiled. "What am I saying? I must finish what my sisters told me to do. You'll help me right? Then sing with me the work song!" Yuuko turned the volume of the speaker and made the sound louder. Miki started singing and dancing while sweeping the floor.

....................
'"Nanda kore wa?" Hitomi asked to no one in particular. Rika and Eri's mouth was left hanging due to the shock.

I knew it! It was clearly Nakazawa's plan! And I might say, she still is a good singer."

.................
Ruby: "We're back! Have you prepared our lunch?" Miki came running from the back stage, her dress was full of dirt.

Sapphire: "Yes, sister. Your lunch was on the table already."

Emerald: "Ewww!!! You’re so dirty! I lost my appetite... Just thinking of how you prepared our lunch with that dirty hand of yours makes me want to puke!"

Ruby: "Me too. I've lost my appetite. Throw that food. It will make us sick if we eat it" Sayumi turned to walk towards the exit. Aya followed but almost falls down. Miki came immediately beside her.

Sapphire: "What happened? Are you alright?"

Emerald: "Take your dirty hands off me! I'm fine. I must be tired from all that walking in the town."

Ruby: "I'll take you to your room. Sapphire, finish cleaning the house."

Sapphire: "I already finished it."

Ruby: "Then wash our laundry. Don't waste the heat of the sun."

Sapphire: "Hai." Nakazawa signaled the staff near the stage to close the curtains and be ready for the next scene. After a minute.....
"Welcome back!!!" The three of them said simultaneously at Hitomi.

Fairy: "Thank you! I've really missed you all. I hope that you didn’t encounter any problems while I'm gone.

Ruby: "We didn’t encounter any. We took good care of the house while you’re gone."

Emerald: "She's right! We even cooked a lovely dinner for us."

Fairy: "How sweet of you! Then let’s have our dinner!" Hitomi went to the table but Miki walked to the opposite direction. "Sapphire? Where are you going?"

Sapphire: "I'm just going to get the laundry from the clothes line."

Fairy: "Then, we'll wait for you. Or, to make it faster, why don’t you help your sister in getting the clothes?"

Ruby: "H.. hai." Sayumi put on her best ‘this-is-against-my-will’ look. Aya tried to prevent her lips to smile at the natural acting of her friend.

............
Fairy: "I've heard that there will be a ball on Silverland. It would last for three days. "Hitomi looked at her daughters.

Ruby: "Oh my gosh!!! OH MY GOSH!!! If the prince will see me, he might marry me!!! Just thinking about these things makes my heart go, 'doki doki'!!!"

Emerald: "Baka, I've heard that the king and queen of Silverland were childless."

Ruby: "How awful.... The world's a cruel place. Why are there no princes? Our country has one but went missing years ago..." Sayumi sighed.

Sapphire: "I wish I could go to the ball."

Fairy: "I'm sorry Sapphire but I’ve decided that I will take Ruby because I know that Emerald doesn't have any interests in this kind of event, and you..." Hitomi sighed. "Only one daughter could go to the ball from each family."

Sapphire: "Its ok mother, I understand."

Emerald: "Don't worry mother, we’ll take care of the house for you."

...........
Fairy: "We’ll be going now! Don’t entertain any strangers, especially you, Sapphire."

Sapphire: "Yes mother. Have a good trip! Sister, have fun on the ball"

Ruby: "You bet I will" Sayumi squealed.

Emerald: "Please bring some gifts when you get back!" Aya and Miki waved to Hitomi and Sayu. Aya faced Miki when the two were already out of sight. "Now, do your usual stuffs. But clean my room first."

Sapphire: "Hai." Aya went to the backstage while Miki got the broom stick, a rug and a bucket full of water. Kaori pressed another button which made the background picture of a forest change into a picture of a room. Miki started sweeping the floor and humming a tune to herself. Aya went back after a while.

Emerald: "What are you doing?"

Sapphire: "I'm cleaning your room."

Emerald: "You call this cleaning?" Aya asked sarcastically. She picked up some dust from the floor and wiped it on Miki's face. "You better do more than just sweeping the floor." Aya kicked the bucket which made the water spill onto the floor. She pushed Miki's face towards it.

……………..
"Whoa!!! I like that scene!! The best scene ever!!" Reina exclaimed. Sayumi covered Reina’s mouth.

“Shhh! You’ll be heard by the audience.”
……………..

Emerald: "I'll check it again when I come back from the town. I expect to see my room sparkling clean." Aya left the stage. Kaori pressed another button and the speaker emitted a melodious, music. Miki faced the audience, her eyes full with tears. She started singing a somewhat mellow song about wanting to meet her love.

"Koi shita koto nado..........kore made nakata.... konna hageshii monotowa omoi mo shinakatta negau no wa.... negau no wa....
Anata ni aitai...Anata ni aitai..."

……………..
"I guess if this was really a contest, she would win the best actress award." Kaori commented.

"I told them that this is a contest and I expect them to win." Nakazawa smiled evilly at her friend.

"Oh, that's why they're performing like a pro. You did a good job with Miki. I never thought that I would see her cry like this."

"That was the hard part but I did manage, didn't I?"

…………………

Narrator: "Meanwhile, on Silverland, the fairy and Ruby arrived on the palace. They were led to a huge room where they would sleep for the next three days."

Fairy: "Ruby, stay here. I'm just going to visit the queen and king. I will try to sell them my merchandise. I know the queen will not resist my jewels."

Ruby: "Yes mother, I'll just rest for a while here."

Narrator: "The fairy went to the chamber of the queen and king. She revealed her true identity."

Queen: "Was the girl that you brought here, my daughter?"

Fairy: "I'm sorry your highness, but no. That would be too risky on our side."

King: "I really miss her. Three days from now and we will celebrate her 18th birthday. I hope nothing bad will befall on her."

Fairy: "Don't worry your highness; I'm doing the best that I can. For the past 17 years, I've been going to places after places in search of the prince that went missing. I've known Hecate for a long time now and I know that she was behind this as well. I will find him and if Hecate did find Sapphire, we will be able to bring her back."

Queen: "We're very thankful to your kind help."

Fairy: "It's nothing. I'm indebted to the king's mother." Hitomi bowed low and went out of the chamber. She went to talk with Ruby.

Ruby: "Why aren't you unpacking your things mother?"

Fairy: "The queen wanted to buy all of my jewels. I will go back to get my other products. I must leave you here for a while. I’ll be back after three days. Be good and have fun!"

Ruby: "Sure mother, have a safe trip!"

Narrator: "The fairy didn’t go back to Bronzeland, she embarked on a journey to find the said prince. Meanwhile, the witch of the lagoon didn't like the fact the only three days were left and she still can’t find princess Sapphire."

Witch: "This is so frustrating!!!" Eri's shrill was followed by a loud thunder sound coming from the speakers. Eri walked back and forth on her throne. "I'm going to find you no matter what! HAHAHAHA!!!" The lights dimmed again and the next scene revealed Miki on the veranda.

Sapphire: "I wish I could go to the ball." Miki sighed and looked at the 'sky'. Miki smiled and stated singing an accapella version of a song about how wishes can come true. Miki went to the left and right side of the veranda. She was hugging herself and emoting in front of the audience.

.........
"Why did Nakazawa-san put to much singing and dancing?" Eri asked.

"I have no idea...... That character didn't suit her......I feel I'm going to vomit."

"Sumimasen, it's my turn now." Rika and Eri moved out of the way as Aya prepared herself for the next scene.


Matsuura-san, change your script with Miki with this one.....

.......
.........
.............

P.S: I want to see your teary face in the stage
P.P.S: I want you to prolong the last scene, ok? -Yuuko
"It's hard to memorize a script 5 minutes before the actual performance and to be asked to do something like that.... that's really getting on my nerves."

……………..

Sapphire: "Why can't I? It's unfair. Mother didn't even tell me the real reason. I'm sure she's hiding something."

Emerald: "Why are you here? Have you finished doing all your chores already?"

Sapphire: "Yes sister."

Emerald: "I've heard that you really wanted to go to the ball... Do you really want to?"

Sapphire: "Oh, yes I do! That would be good... but"

Emerald: "Mother said that only one daughter per family would be allowed right?" Miki nodded in response. "Don't worry, I have an idea." Aya smiled.

Sapphire: "Hontou? Why are you helping me?"

Emerald: "It's because, we're still sisters. I've heard your song and I was moved by it. It made me guilty about all the cruel things that I've done to you" Aya thought of all the sad memories she had in the past. She tried very hard to tear up but she can't. She looked at Miki's face and remembered something which made her cry out loud. Miki was surprised when Aya hugged her tightly.

Emerald: "I'm really sorry!!!"

Sapphire: "I... It's alright. I have no hard feelings towards you."

Emerald: "Thank you Sapphire." Aya released her grip on Miki and wiped away her tears. "Now, my idea is..."

Sapphire: "What is it? I’m willing to do anything!"

Emerald: "Anything?"

Sapphire: "Yes! Anything!" Miki excitedly said.

Emerald: "Then, you must kiss me¨

Sapphire: "Nande!? Why do I have to kiss you?!"

Emerald: "I thought that you really wanted to go the ball? If you really wanted to, you must kiss me on the lips first."

.........
"Nande? Nande? Nande?!?!? What was that? Why will she kiss Aya?!"

"Why? Are you jealous?" Sayumi asked.

"No! Definitely no! It's just that, the script were altered somehow. In our practice, she was saying the she will let her borrow the dress. But now, there's kissing involve!"

"You're just jealous because she will get to kiss someone..."

"Be quiet! They will really do it! Look!" Eri pointed towards the stage.

................
Sapphire: "If I will kiss you, I can get to the ball?"

Emerald: "Yes, I promise you." Miki walked closer to Aya. She held up Aya's chin so that their face would be leveled. Miki leaned to kiss Aya while Aya put her arms around Miki.

...............
Narrator: "Meanwhile, the fairy traveled towards a kingdom she hasn't visited before. It was a very far place; she used her wings to fly over the oceans and mountains. At last, she reached Goldland.

Fairy: "I hope that I will see the prince now." Hitomi runs around the 'forest' when she heard a galloping horse. Rika emerged from the backstage.

Franz: "Who are you, fair lady? Are you lost in this forest?"

Fairy: "No, I'm not. I'm looking for someone." Hitomi timidly said.

Franz: "And who are looking for?"

Fairy: "A prince who can lift a fair princess; curse." Rika tried to look surprised. She smiled at Hitomi warmly.

Franz: "You're in good luck. I'm a prince. My name is Prince Franz of Goldland." Rika bowed and kissed Hitomi's hand

Fairy: "I'm the fairy of the forest of Silverland. My name’s Millicent. Mind if I take you with me to Silverland to save the princess' life? I'll explain it to you on our way."

Franz: "Mi..Millicent? I think I've heard that name before.."

Fairy: "What did you say?"

Franz: "Nothing. I'll go with you."

................
Narrator: "The last day of the ball arrived. As Emerald promised, Sapphire was able to go to the ball. She was careful not to let Ruby see her. She saw wonderful things inside the palace. The witch decided to disguise herself as a handsome guy. She knew that Sapphire would come to her 18th birthday. At last, she saw the long lost princess."

Hecate: "Madam, would you like to dance with me?"

Sapphire: "Uhm.....I was searching for my partner."

Hecate: "Please, even just for a short while."

Sapphire: "I'm somewhat shy to dance in the middle of many people."

Hecate: "Then let's dance in the garden. There are less people in there. And there's a beautiful wishing well in there where all your dreams can come true." Miki pretended to be hesitant at first but then, she went with Eri.
………………..
"What a drastic change from being a mean witch to a handsome guy." Reina whispered to herself as she stared in awe at how having a short hair fitted her friend.

"Is the climax coming?" Kaori asked.

"Yeah, watch my greatness in writing a script." Yuuko replied.
………………..

Sapphire: "Where are we? Why is there a spinning wheel?"

Hecate: "Touch it and all your dreams will come true." Eri glared at Miki. Miki pretended to be hypnotized and touched the needle. Miki falls on the ground and Eri laughed out loud. The clock strikes midnight and the queen and king runs toward the stage.

King: "Hecate! Guards, seize her!" Ai pointed her sword on Hecate. Risa runs towards Miki and hugged her.

Hecate: "Now that my work's done, I'm going now! AHAHAHAHA!" Eri vanished inside the smoke that filled her place.

Queen: "What should we do now?"

King: "I hope Millicent did find that missing prince."

Narrator: "Meanwhile, Millicent and Prince Franz reached the shore of Silverland where Millicent was waiting for them."

Hecate: "Hello! It's been a long time now, Millicent."

Millicent: "Why are you here?"

Hecate: "I know what you’re going to do, so I'm going to stop you here."

Franz: "Is this the witch you’re talking about?" Rika removed her sword from its scabbard and positioned herself in a fencing stance.

Hecate: "My, my... What a brave little prince we have here. Do you want to get killed... again?" Eri raised her trident in the air. Kaori pressed a button and lightning came down from the top of the stage.

Millicent: "What do you mean by 'again'?" Hitomi emphasized the word again.

Franz: "I won't get killed again, you devil!" Rika attacked Eri. Hitomi just watched the two from behind.

Hecate: "Still angry with me? Your death was your own fault. If you chose me instead of her, then I wouldn't be forced to kill you."

Millicent: "What do you mean by that? I don't understand you both." Eri wounded Rika on the arms. Rika moved back and kneeled beside Hitomi.

Hecate: "Do you remember your beloved prince Francis 1000 years ago?"

Millicent: "Yes, why?"

Hecate: "This prince Franz of yours was a reincarnation of Francis." Eri looked at the two of them and raised her trident. "And I will kill the two of you here!"

Franz: "I will not lose this time around. I will protect you with my life."

Millicent: "Don't worry, I'm here now, and together we will defeat her." Hitomi raised her wand while Rika raised her sword. They pressed a button from their 'weapon' and it began to glow. Eri looked scared. Rika and Hitomi pointed the tips of their weapon towards Eri.

Hecate: "NOOOOOOOO!!!"

..............
Millicent: "What happened here?"

Queen: "Hecate found our daughter. She's in a deep slumber right now."

King: "Is this the prince you were looking for? Will she be able to wake up our daughter? If you wake her up, you will become her husband and be the new king of this kingdom."

Franz: "I'm sorry your highness. I can't accept such act of kindness. I will try to wake her up but I will not marry her. My heart belongs to only one." Rika looked at Hitomi and smiled. She leaned forward on the sleeping Miki and kissed her swiftly. Miki didn't wake up.

Millicent: "It's no use. The pact said that she will be awakened by true love's kiss. Since Franz loves another person, he will not be able to wake her up no matter how many times he tried kissing her."

Narrator: "Suddenly, there was a handsome prince standing on the door. Franz took out his sword to protect them if this prince was Hecate's ally."

Franz: "Who are you?"

Erik: "My name's prince Erik. I'm the missing prince of Bronzeland."

Millicent: "Are you sure? I’ve searched for you for the last 17 years and I haven't heard any news about you. Why now? Are you Hecate's ally?"

Erik: "I'm staying with you for the last 17 years."

Millicent: "What are you talking about?"

Erik: "Hecate fell in love with me but I rejected her. She erased my memory and changed me into a little girl and left me alone in the forest."

Millicent: "Then... you... are...."

Erik: "Yes, mother... I'm the one you called Emerald. I was thankful to Sapphire. Her song has brought my memory back. I will return the favor and kiss her. "Aya walked towards the bed where Miki was lying down.
”Why do I have to kiss her two times this day?"

Narrator: "Princess Sapphire’s color came back. She coughed a bit and opened her eyes and saw for the first time Prince Erik’s smiling face."

Sapphire: "I think I've seen you before. You look familiar."

Erik: "It doesn't matter now, my love. We're just happy that you came back."

Narrator: "And so, the marriage of Prince Erik and Princess Sapphire brought together Bronzeland and Silverland. The fairy Millicent went to live with her love, Prince Franz. They took Ruby with them on Goldland where she married the handsome count. The three kingdoms lived in prosperity and they lived happily ever after."

(More details! Douzo!)

Advance happy birthday Miki!!! But this story is somewhat ansty... not suitable for a b-day fic...anyways.. enjoy! Hehehe...XD



When I’m angry
My blood’s heated up
I feel like I wanna kill
I say bad words
I can’t control myself
When I’m angry I cry

“Hey Miki, are you alright?” Hitomi asked as she saw Miki passed her by with an angry look.

“Damatte-yo!!”

“Woah, is that the right way to treat your friend?” Hitomi tried to catch up and ran towards her. She put her hands on Miki’s shoulder in which the other removed immediately.

“Nani yo?! Don’t you dare touch me your dirty hands!”

“Eh? What the heck are you saying? I don’t understand you.”

“Leave me alone… Kono kuso-onna!” Miki said forcefully before running towards the elevator. She quickly pushed the close button when she saw that Hitomi was running after her.

When I’m angry
I look them in the eye
With a killer stare
I glare and kill them
With one look
When I’m angry I cry

Miki glared at everyone that she came across with. Sayumi wanted to approach her but then, she didn’t want to be scolded with an angry Fujimoto.

“What happened with her?” Reina asked Eri. Eri tried to imitate a psychic. She closed her eyes and raised her hands, with her palms upwards, on shoulder level. She began humming to herself.

“Ahhhhhhhm…… Ahhhhmmmm. I can see that Fujimoto’s angry with two persons….”

“Yeah right… we’re not filming Hello! Morning this time so will you quit that act?” Eri opened her eyes and looked at Reina.

“But it’s true! She’s angry with Aya and Hitomi… I can feel it.”

“You’re really weird.”
When I’m angry
I hurt myself
I punch the hardest thing
My fist could lay on
I break anything my
Hand grasps the nearest
When I’m angry I cry

Miki closed her door with a loud bang. She closed her fist and punched her bedroom wall as hard as she can. Her anger made her numb. She kept on punching the wall until her fists were already bleeding. She caught a glimpse of her table, and went in that direction. She threw the magazines on top of her table. Miki looked at the frame with her and Aya smiling. The glass shattered into pieces as she threw the frame on the wall. And as if she’s still not satisfied, she hurled every thing that she can get; table lamp, bed sheet, pillows, clock… She didn’t mind when her feet were bleeding due to the broken pieces of glass. She just wanted to destroy anything she touches.

When I’m angry
I feel like I could kill
When I’m angry
I feel I want to die
I feel great hatred
And it hurts inside
When I’m angry
Silence fills my mind

It was in that middle of destruction when the door of her room open and Aya entered.

“What are you doing?!” Aya went towards her friend but Miki just pushed her back.

“Leave me alone! I don’t want to talk with you ever again!” Miki got a pillow and threw it at Aya’s face. Aya quickly dodge it. She walked towards Miki but was surprised when Miki pushed her towards the wall and grabbed her neck.

“I told you to leave me alone! From this day on… forget that I exist!” Miki tightened her grasps on Aya’s neck. Aya’s color was slowly draining from her face. Miki bit her lip and released her victim. Aya coughed out.

A silence that stops my
Mouth from opening
To prevent me
From saying something
One day I’ll regret
So instead tears fall
From my eyes
Tears of anger
Tears of pain filled up
To the bottom of my heart

Miki stepped back a little as she let Aya catch some air.
“I don’t want to see your face again you… you….” Miki didn’t continue what she wanted to say. Deep in her heart, she didn’t want to say harsh things to her. She let her tears fall instead. She didn’t know whether it’s because of anger or pain… she’s really confused right now. A part of her wanted to hurt Aya, and the other wanted to protect her but one thing’s for sure, she was glad that she stopped herself from saying those things to Aya for she know that she will regret it in the future.

When I’m angry
I’d just shut up
And sit in one corner
When I’m angry, I cry
I don’t want to cry anymore

Miki turned around and sat on one corner of her room. She hugged her knees, buried her face on her knees and cried silently. Aya stood up and went towards her friend. She went here as soon as Hitomi told her what happened earlier. She have a hunch why Miki’s angry, but she needed her to say it in front of her face.

“Why are you sulking there? If you’re angry at me… punch me or kick me… I don’t mind just as long as I know why you’re doing that to me.”

“Please, just leave me alone.” Miki said in a barely audible voice. Her sniffles were making it hard for her to say anything. Aya approached her and hugged her tightly. Miki couldn’t get out no matter how hard she tried. All of her energy was drained from all the destruction that she did earlier. “Please… I don’t want to be hurt anymore… I don’t want to cry anymore…”

“Who said that I’ll make you cry? What really happened to you? How can we fix this if don’t tell me the real reason why you’re angry?” Miki shook her head and continued to
cry silently. Aya gave up.

“Is it about Hitomi and me? Did you see something that you shouldn’t have seen?” Miki didn’t answer her directly but from what Aya observed, Miki’s clenched her hands tighter, her breathing became erratic and somehow, she stopped crying.

“I guess you saw her kissing me in the dressing room right? But it’s not what you think…”

“I don’t want to hear any of your excuses… please leave now!” Miki said with her face still buried in her knees. Aya sighed and released her arms on her friend.

“Fine, I’ll let you rest for now but what I’m about to tell you is the truth.” Aya sighed out loud before continuing. “I’ve asked her to kiss me because I know that she can teach me to kiss a girl. You know that Hitomi and Rika were together right? Don’t you know that in our new PV single, I have to initiate a kiss? Since Hitomi and you were good friends, I’ve asked her, with the permission of Rika of course, to teach me some possible ways on how to kiss you. I know it sounds dumb but it’s the truth, you can even ask Eri. She was with us.”

Aya patted Miki’s shoulder before standing up. She was about to walk away from her when Miki’s hand stopped her from moving.

“Is it really the truth?”

Aya smiled. “Yes, it’s the truth. You know that I’ll not lie to you right?” Miki raise her head and smiled for the first time that day. She didn’t move from her position. She was really exhausted. Now that her anger left her, she felt the pain from her fist and feet. Aya got her handkerchief and wiped Miki’s bleeding hands.

“What do you think you’re doing with your life? You’re an idol and you know that idols mustn’t have scars right?”

“You made me do this…” Miki replied softly. Aya noticed that Miki’s already exhausted. She helped her stand up and washed her wounds. She fixed Miki’s bed first before she laid her sleepy friend.

Aya cleaned some of the mess that Miki did earlier. She noticed a piece of paper lying on the floor and picked it up. She read it and tried to suppress her laugh. “Woah…. You know, you can add this line if you want to….

‘When I’m angry, I become poetic… so that Ayaya can laugh at all the things that I wrote when we’re back together.”

“Shut up Aya! Do you want me to get angry at you again?!”

(More details! Douzo!)

I didn't know what went through my mind for me to write this not-so-happy-ending fic about Valentine's Day. (probably because I'm a member of NBSB, No Boyfriend Since Birth Lol!! Hahaha). Anyways, enjoy reading! Happy Valentine's Day Minna!!!



There was once a lovely cupid who always comes down from heaven as February approaches. This cupid was the one responsible for increasing the number of couples during that period. This cupid was named as the cupid of mischief. She always targets incompatible couples; cute guy, ugly girl. Tall girl, short guy. Another thing that she’s fond of doing during this time was to partner a guy to a guy and a girl to a girl.

“Are you sure you’re my best friend? Because best friends don’t betray each other!”

“Oh yeah?! It was you who betrayed me first!”

“Get a life Miki! I HATE YOU! I don’t want to see you ever again!!!”

The cupid watched happily as the two girls bicker at each other. She was having fun at the scene this two were making. When she saw that they were going to go away, she aimed her arrows and shot at them. The aura of the two changed suddenly.

“I’m sorry Aya, I was really stupid. Forgive me.”

“No, it was me who’s supposed to say sorry to you.”

The cupid, feeling satisfied, flew to another place. She saw a well known personality giving a Valentine’s Day concert in the park. She decided to play another trick on the unsuspecting victim. After the concert, she held an autograph signing and pictorial session. The cupid decided to shot her arrows of love on the celebrity and to the little girl who’s asking her autograph.

“You’re my idol! I really love… I mean… like you Maki.”

“What’s your name?”

“Tanaka Reina.”

“Meet me at the backstage later. I’ll treat you for dinner.”

There’s no force, both from heaven or earth that can stop this playful cupid. That is the truth, until the day she saw someone.

The other cupids call her ‘Hitomi’ for she always has an ‘eye’ for weird couples. She was wondering around the earth during the Valentine’s Day when she saw a girl standing alone near the Sakura trees. The cupid immediately fell in love with her beguiling eyes. She followed the girl where ever she went. She learned that the girl’s name was Rika. A cupid must never fall in love with a mortal. That’s their general rule which this mischievous cupid was willing to defy.

She positioned herself in front of the girl, aimed her arrows and shot Rika’s heart. She smiled as the arrow of ‘love-at-first-sight penetrated her heart. Hitomi summoned her powers to become visible immediately. Rika saw a beautiful winged person in front of her. From Hitomi’s perspective, the girl didn’t seem that she’s afraid of her.

“Are you an angel?”

“Somewhat like that… I’m a cupid.”

“Ohh. I guess it’s a hard job right? Forcing other people fall in love with each other even though they’re not really meant for each other.”

Hitomi was struck at what Rika said. Something’s wrong. Her arrows should have taken effect any minute now. She was surprised when Rika smiled at her to say goodbye.

“I wish people would just fall in love naturally with out the help of other beings. If that’s the case, the world will become a pleasant place for the people living here are experiencing true and everlasting love.” Rika smiled and waved goodbye to the cupid. Hitomi was left agape.

That day, Hitomi returned to the heavens with a sad heart. She kept thinking what Rika said to her. A cupid approached her when she noticed that their usual laughing Hitomi returned with a gloomy face.

“What happened?”

“I met a beautiful person… I fell in love with her.. But my arrows didn’t have an effect on her.”

“What’s the name of that person?”

“Rika.”

“That’s Akir, the fallen cupid. She forced someone to fall in love with her before by using her arrow of infatuation. Akir was stripped off of her powers and was made a mortal. They were happy for a couple of months until the guy replaced her with a beautiful lady. She’s really repenting what she had done.”

Hitomi listened intently on the story. She made a promise that day; she’ll never play with the mortal’s heart ever again.

In lieu with the Halloween atmosphere (though it's somewhat late now), I wrote a supposedly scary fic... I went back to being a dialogue freak...hehehe... Hope you like it! :)


Test of Courage

“I don’t know whether to be glad or disappointed when I picked your name on the box.”

“Awww, come on… We’ll be a great tandem! We’re not afraid of anything!”

“Yes, I know… Just don’t start groping my butt or else… I’ll leave you here alone.”

“Ehh? You know, you’re so mean!!! You’ll be sorry if you dare do that… Aya will kick your ass!”

“Yeah? And Rika will come out with her yoyo and protect me…”

“Why did you ever pick my name? Don’t you have some telekinesis or psychic powers to get Rika’s name instead of mine?”

“I’m sorry, I don’t… You’ll just have to bear with me… or vice versa. Quit whining there and walk faster!”

Hitomi and Miki walked fast down the dark and foggy forest. Only the light from the moon and their small flashlights, served as an illumination for them to see their way through.

“WAAHHH!!!! Ghost!!! Ghost!!!” Miki immediately grabbed Hitomi and ran.

“Miki slow down!!! It’s just one of our teachers!!”

Miki stopped on her tracks and tried to breath.

“I thought that you’re not scared. You’re boasting that you’re not afraid this morning.”

“Yossie!!! There’s a monster on your back!”

“Get a hold of yourself… It’s only one of our teachers. Look..” Hitomi approached the figure and tried to pull off its head.

“It’s not working… That means…” Hitomi turned pale as a ghost.

“WAAAHHH!!!!” Miki and Hitomi ran as fast as they could, towards the heart of the forest.

……
“Aya, did you hear that?” Rika clutched Aya’s arms tightly.

“Yah, it’s coming from that direction.” Aya pointed at the direction behind them.

~Waaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh~

“There it goes again…. It seems it’s getting closer….”

“Ouch! You’re hurting me!”

~Waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh~

Rika and Aya hugged each other. They saw two figures emerging from the thick fog.

“WAAAAHHHHH!!!!”

“EYAAAAHH!!!!”

The four of them ended up screaming at each other… It was Aya who broke “scream fest”.

“Why are the two of you running and screaming like that!?!” Aya growled.

“It was you’re best friend’s fault! She screamed first!”

“What are you saying? You’re the one who pretended to be brave and tried to remove the mask of that monster.”

“Shut up! I think I hear something.” Rika tried to focus her flashlight from the direction where Hitomi and Miki came. They saw shadowy figures coming to them. The thick fog of the night made it impossible for them to decipher who or what was it..

“You know, I’ve heard some stories about this forest… They say that it’s haunted.”

“RIKA!!! This is not a good time for you to tell that!” Hitomi exclaimed.

“It’s just our teachers… It’s just our teachers… It’s just our teachers… Damn! Why did they ever thought about having a test of courage in this forest!... It’s just our teachers… It’s just our teachers…”

“Miki! You’re too noisy! Stop saying that mantra and let’s just move forward.” Aya pulled Miki and walked forward. Hitomi and Rika followed them. Hitomi looked behind them to see if the “monsters” were following them.

“I guess it’s a good idea that all of us will hold hands so that we don’t get separated from each other. They’re still following us.”

“There’s 30 students in our class… Why are they focusing on us? It’s not fair.” Rika whispered. The place seemed somewhat eerie as they go deeper into the forest.

“You know what, there were already 5 pairs who went ahead of us… But you were the first ones that we saw.” Aya held Miki’s hand tighter.

“That’s because Hitomi and I ran that we were able to catch up on you guys.”

“Why were you running again in the first place? I imagined that the two of you will kick all of the ghosts you encountered on the way.” Rika sarcastically said. She looked back and noticed that the figures were still following them but their numbers were increasing.

“Well, I… I tried to get the mask of that monster but it seemed so real when I touched it and it won’t budge. That monster’s eyes were really creepy… I can’t move for a second that’s why I gathered my courage and shouted, then we ran away.”

“So much for the tough attitude that the two of you were always displaying in school.” Aya said before stopping abruptly. She was frozen on her tracks.

“Hey, what happened?” Miki looked around the place, she could feel her hairs rising from the sudden coldness of the place.

“We’ve been here before… Look Rika! There’s the scary looking tree we’ve noticed earlier before those two arrived right?”

“Eh? Yah, and there’s the rock near it… It can’t be… It really looks the same! Which means that…”

“We’ve been walking in circles?” Hitomi sounded more like a confirmation than a question. “It that’s the case then…” She didn’t finish talking when there were figures that appeared in front of them. They looked back and saw that there were figures surrounding them.

“Shit! We’re trapped!” Miki cursed.

“I told you this place is haunted!” Rika hugged Hitomi.

“Don’t worry, I’ll protect you!”
Hitomi tried to compose herself and tried to think of a way out. And then, reality hit her.

-

“Yossie?”

-

“Yochan?”

-

“Hito~mi?”

-

“What the hell… YOSHIZAWA!!! You’re in a trance-like state again! Geez, were in the middle of a test here … What were you thinking back there?”

“Nothing, I was just thinking what if this forest is hunted… Will the great Mikitty be scared?”

“Yeah right, as if I’m scared. Our teachers’ costumes this year were pathetic… They won’t be able to scare even a little kid with it…Could you walk faster so that we can catch up with Ayaya and Rika?”

“Hai…”

The End

(More details! Douzo!)

A girl was waiting for her companion to come. It’s already 30 minutes past their actual meeting time. If the other people inside the convenient store could see intangible things, they would see steam coming of from that girl. A couple of minutes more and the culprit arrived, saying sorry for making the other girl wait long. Other girl began lashing her tongue out to the newly arrived girl but then, she thought about the difficulty of her friend’s course that’s why she stopped scolding the younger one and decided to just let it pass.


They went to a bazaar with all kinds of cheap stuffs that morning. The younger one bought many things while the other was just helping the other to decide on what she will buy. They had been planning this for a long time now and today was their chance.

“I thought that you’ll need to buy something here?” the younger one asked.

“Well, I haven’t seen one that’s good to buy… I’ll just check it when we get into the mall.”

It’s almost lunch time when they went to the mall. They decided to eat in a Japanese restaurant with a rice-all-you-can promo. In contrast to their thin and normal body, these two were such heavy eaters that they managed to consume 4 cups of rice in one sitting. After eating, they made a music video about their Miso soup. They sang Miso Soup of TegoMasu both in English and Japanese version. They didn’t care whether other people were looking weirdly at them. What’s important was that they were having fun.

After almost two hours of eating, they walked around the mall in search of something good to see. They went to an amusement park and immediately went inside a karaoke room. They thrash around the room like madmen. Singing and dancing at the same time not minding if the people outside would see them jumping around and scream instead of sing. They would change the original lyrics and add their own lyrics to the instrumental part of the song. All of this had been filmed and documented on the older girl’s cell phone.

Their purpose why they met up was to get their photo taken by a Purikura machine. Before they start, they talked about their posing and what design they will apply on the background. After that, they just consumed all their tokens in different games they haven’t tried before.

The sun will set in just two hours more and it would be good to see the sun setting in the horizon but, they have to go home now. They just took a picture near the seashore and walked towards the bus stop.

“You know what, when I’m with you, I don’t care whether I sing out of tune.” The older one said.

Was it a compliment or a joke? But those two had been friends for the last 7 years. They started as simple classmates… and ended up as good friends. They have been into many ups and downs, but most of the times, they don’t encounter problems that much. They talked over the telephone about their fanfics and different Japanese stuffs, they even talk until the wee hours of the morning. They have done various outrageous things like evading their class reunion so they could have fun in their own, doing crazy stuffs like making a self-PV of their favorite J-pop band complete with costumes, escaping important school related stuffs like pretending to be sick so they could meet together, chasing and staking cute guys in anime convention to get their “autographs” and friendster add., etc. And earlier, the younger one tried her best to go to the mall with her friend even though she’s sleepy and tired from her duty in the hospital.

They were friends but they each had their own best friends. Did they consider each other as a best friend? The younger one’s father was in overseas and she let the older one to talk to him when he’s online and they were talking on the phone. The older one’s parents consider the younger one as part of the family…. Action speaks louder than words.

“Well, I guess you’re shy to sing with your classmates because they comment on your voice, nee, Miki-chan?”

“Hai, I’m not a good singer like you.”

“At least you’ve tried your best… Don’t worry, I, Aya Matsuura will train you!”

“I guess that will be on our sembreak because of our tight schedule in school… But thanks in advance…”

The End
